Gluten-Free Restaurants in Washington, DC

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“This resturaunt was amazing! The service was absolutely the best, the food was sooooo delicious and flavorful and the ambiance was great. Definitely will be going there again.“

“I enjoyed the most decorative meals full of nutrients and I would love to visit them ones again when I get less busy one day😊💕“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“The food here was incredible and the ambiance is very nice! There is a nice variety of beverages, especially cold ones for the summer time. The staff were super friendly, especially Enrique, who came to chat with us. Although they weren’t doing seating service, the food arrived at our table very fast.“

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“Friendly! European atmosphere!“

“Had pizza delivered to our Hotel, & it tasted great plus the cookies are chewy & delicious! We were hesitant on where to order from and DC Pizza did not disappoint. Thank you for the delicious food!“

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“I finally gave in to the hype and went to try this $6 cookie.

The chocolate walnut cookie is a big boi, the form factor is half the point. The exterior has a satisfying crispy, buttery crunch that gives way to a doughy (but fully cooked) interior. Big, textured walnut pieces add a nice bite.

That said, it is quite sweet. The chocolate is overwhelming, even by cookie standards (though I understand it looks great on Instagram).

If I do try another cookie, I’ll be eating it in two sittings instead of one 🫡“

“Exactly the kind of Indian place you want. Not fancy or overpriced, but elegant and well priced prepared curries and other classic dishes. There are so many trendy and hyper-stylized Indian places in DC, but if you’re looking for a comforting curry with great service, don’t look any further! Can’t recommend this great neighborhood spot highly enough.“

“Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese was absolutely amazing and the Mac N Cheese is GREAT! Highly recommend“

“Great place to grab a drink and meet new people and don’t forget the amazing brunch every Saturday and Sunday 11:00 and 1:00pm.“

“We were looking for unique dining experiences while on vacation in DC and this place did not disappoint!! Excellent food, large portions, and great staff. Would definitely come here again if we’re ever back in the area.“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“Prices were reasonable and the food was good. Was almost empty on a Saturday morning when I went so if you want to get away from a brunch crowd this could be a get away. It also has alot of nice outside seating though I stayed inside to avoid the heat.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“Fresh delicious and healthy! Friendly staff clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“I'm helping to run a large conference in a venue that won't allow outside food, so I needed somewhere where all the staff/volunteers could quickly run and grab dinner, sit and eat, then run back to the venue to keep working on the conference. Little Beet was one of VERY FEW places nearby that was actually able to accommodate everyone's dietary needs (lots of vegan, gluten free, etc) and have seating/tables. Everyone was extremely complimentary about the food quality and at least a couple people mentioned how thrilled we were that a low FODMAP bowl existed - that's a dietary need that a lot of restaurants won't/can't accommodate. They were extremely accommodating about allowing me to just email in a spreadsheet of food orders, had the food conveniently bagged up for us and labelled with names, and they helped us out at the absolute last minute when we needed to add Friday lunch on top of Saturday dinner. It was really nice to all sit together at the tables/benches outside. I would recommend Little Beet!“

“The staff are super friendly and they serve food right on time. Food is fresh and sumptuous. Price is reasonable and place has a great simple and clean ambience. Definitely a must go. 💯💯💯“

“Excelente lugar, la comida, la atencion en especial la de Federico, nos dio muy burnas recomendaciones, es excelente.“

“Fun sitting on the swings to eat! Sausage pizza was really good and my daughter said the gluten free margherita pizza was good, too!“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“You can make an entire night here on flamenco nights. They have amazing food, and fantastic entertainment! Wait staff is attentive and professional. It is more European style service in the sense that they leave you in peace to enjoy your food, but they are always watching the table to see if you need anything at all. They swoop in to take your used plates etc. This is a must do restaurant in DC!“

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“We were hanging out in Georgetown with our guests from out of town and we were looking for a place to eat lunch. We are all vegetarians and upon seeing good rating of this small restaurant, we decided to give it a try and we are so very glad we did. It's a hidden gem with delicious and healthy food with all vegetarian choices. The food was not only fresh, perfect temperature, and tasty but they had things on their menu that you don't find at a normal mexican joint.“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“Very beautiful area. The quiche was the best I’ve ever had! Very cozy place.“

“Amazing place! We had a baby shower there and could not be more than perfect. The food and service were incredible. Tanya is a great manager and very helpful. We couldn’t be more than happy.“

“This is open and airy place with cool, white subway tile decor and lots of windows. You order your food and it’s delivered to your table.
I had the tuna and hard boiled egg on a croissant. It was delicious but a bit too heavy with the mayo and sour cream. Less mayonnaise and more red onion would have made it a better sandwich but it was so tasty.
My husband had the cooked eggs, bacon and cheese on sourdough toast. It was hot and delicious.
The coffee was also excellent and I had mine in a big, black glass coffee cup. There are no free refills but the person bringing out the food got me a free refill which was much appreciated.
This place is located by all the hotels and right around the corner from ours so it was very convenient.“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“lunch was delicious and the Gelato was even more delicious deliciouser! 😋 sitting outside across from Kennedy Center was a plus.“

“fresh, fast, and delicious. I'm visiting from Orlando and have enjoyed trying out the local quisine My meal at Bibibop has been my favorite so far and the staff was super friendly and the restaurant very clean.“

“Chez Lily has some of the best coffee I've ever had. I stop by every morning, and it's always consistently great. The atmosphere is awesome—super welcoming and a great way to start the day.

The customer service is what really keeps me coming back. Everyone is so friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care. Big shoutout to Iyanna, Kai, and Diego! They're always kind, upbeat, and make every visit a great experience.

Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for amazing coffee and an even better vibe!“

“There was another Korean place I’d go to near Metro Center train station, but when my location changed, the restaurant was too far. SeoulSpice is filling that void. First time trying them and the rice bowl was so flavorful. I usually do not eat spicy foods, but would definitely have the spicy pork again. I also enjoyed the addition of the marinated egg.

The staff were polite and helped me through my selections. You do not have to wait for them to cook your bowl. All the options are ready for them to scoop. They also have gluten free cookies made from rice flour. They were delicious.“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“We were in town too see the Cherry Blossoms. While looking for something quick to eat, we stumbled upon SeoulSpice. I have been craving my mother's cooking... You guys are the closest to her cooking that I teared up while eating.... All the way to the last bite. 😋 And then we went again the next night!“

“Enjoyed a great meal at District Taco. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made to order with high-quality ingredients. The tacos are packed with flavor, the queso is excellent, and the variety of proteins and toppings makes it easy to customize your meal. Service is quick and friendly, making it a perfect option for a casual lunch or dinner. Consistently good food, generous portions, and great value. Definitely one of my go-to spots for tacos in the area.“

“While in the area, I stumbled upon this hidden gem. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted politely, informed of the days special and offered a tasting. Everything was so delicious that I can't only recommend one item. Will definitely be a repeat customer in the near future.“

“Came here for their Sunday brunch. Now, the food is excellent, no question, but this buffet is priced higher than the Wynn at Vegas, so given that price point I have very high expectations. The Wynn's spread is of much higher quality although the Sequoia is no slouch. AYCE crab cakes and prime rib were standouts, as well as free champagne and mimosas. The buffet line here focused a lot on manned stations, so perhaps that explains why their spread did not have as many options.

The service was excellent, but when I was first seated who would become my server paused a bit and demanded to know if someone seated me first, as if I was some sort of rif raff who walked in through the back door and seated myself.

While ultimately this was an excellent buffet, I did not feel it was worth the steep price tag.“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“
